Land Day, Youm al-‘Ard, has been commemorated annually in Palestine since March 30th, 1976 when the usurping Zionist entity, in full, unfiltered, hateful, anti-Gentile rage, launched a murderous crackdown on Palestinian protesters in Al-Jalil (the Galilee) who were demonstrating against the ‘Israeli’ theft of two ancient Palestinian towns. At least 6 Palestinians were martyred while hundreds of others were wounded and arrested. The pieces of real estate in question were Sakhnin and Arrabat al-Battouf. This was part of the overall Judaization of the Galilee that had been in effect since the Nakba and as DFLP leader Nayaf Hawatmeh reminds us, the explicit goal was create a Jewish majority in the area through the construction of 8 Jewish industrial villages. And while there were strategic reasons for this aggression, with Sakhnin producing tons of olives, figs, oregano and sesame, and Arrabat al-Battouf being known regionwide for its onions, watermelons and cantaloupes, ‘Israel’ had ulterior, “Torah”-and-Talmud-driven motives.

Dr. Fathi Shaqaqi (R.A.), the gregariously glowing glimmer of the Palestinian cause and the founder of Islamic Jihad, was a knight in shining armor; a radiant ray at the ocean’s bottom; and a force of ferocity that chills the enemy to its core and rattles it in its eardrums even to this very moment. ‘Israel’ murdered him on this day 23 years ago. A child of the Nakba, his family was driven from their ancestral home in Ramleh’s Zamuqa–where they had lived for half a dozen generations–by Jewish terrorists from the Irgun and the Haganah who were commanded by war criminals Yitzhak Rabin (real name: Rubitzov) and Yigal Allon (real name: Peikowitz).

He grew up in the bitter and battered slums of Rafah in the Gaza Strip but refused to let the Zionist occupation break his spirit and prevent him from pursuing education. Gifted and brilliant, Shaqaqi rocked a triple crown, attaining degrees from Bir Zeit Univeristy in physics and mathematics then later from Egypt’s Mansoura University in medicine. The last of which led him back to Gaza where he’d open a clinic to serve Palestine’s most poverty-stricken and desperate. It didn’t take long for him to grow completely disillusioned with the politics of the Strip’s two dominant currents: Ikhwan and the PLO. Shaqaqi saw the former’s near-disinterest in total liberation, not to mention growing sectarianism, as unforgivable and the latter’s lack of Islamic observance as a deathly folly.

Muharram, the Islamic calendar’s pinnacle of heartbreak, is upon us. Its first ten days, culminating on Ashoura–when the Holy Prophet Muhammad’s (S.A.W.W.) grandson Imam Hussein (A.S.) was butchered and beheaded by the bloodthirsty, psychopathic tyrant Yazid’s (L.A.) accursed mercenary Shimr (L.A.) on the sands of Karbala in 680 A.D.–are the most excruciating of all. There are many a story to be told about what took place on Iraq’s bloodied southern battlefields 1,338 years ago.

From the brave ones like Jawn Ibn Huway’s (A.S.) angelic cries of poetry amidst the fight along with Abis ibn Shabib al-Shakiri (A.S.) taking off his armor and confronting the traitors of Kufa head on… To the melancholy ones like Ali Asghar’s (A.S.) tiny body being pierced with an arrow as well as the unspeakable repression of Lady Zaynab (A.S.) in the aftermath of the slaughter. But in this current climate, one that stands out in a rather massive way is Imam Hussein (A.S.) dying thirsty. That Yazid (L.A.) allowed the Chief of the Youth of Paradise (A.S.)–who Muhammad al-Moustafa (S.A.W.W.) loved like his very own son and who said of him, “Whoever loves Hussein loves me, whoever is against Hussein is against me”–to be denied water, shows you how malevolent, despotic and rotten at the core he was.

Ayman Nafez Rabih an-Najjar (R.A.), a 26-year old Palestinian fighter of the PFLP’s Abou Ali Moustafa Brigades, was martyred alongside his comrade, 24-year old Mouhannad Majed Jamal Hamouda (R.A.), on July 29th, 2018 in Jabaliya when the usurping Zionist entity was launching a vicious assault upon the illegally besieged Gaza Strip. The legendary Resistance group founded by George Habash said that the young men gave their lives in the line of duty, i.e. resisting the ‘Israeli’ terrorists who seek to ethnically cleanse the indigenous Palestinian people from the lands that have been in Palestinian hands for 30-40 generations. Ayman and Mouhannad both died with honor, dignity and a pristine glow of Mouqawamah. Continue reading Reminder: As PFLP Martyr Ayman Najjar (R.A.) Shows, The Palestinian Resistance Stands WIth Hizbullah→

More than a bit anomalous for a wordsmith to utter this sort of sentiment but sometimes even the oldest, most mineral-rich rivers dry up… And as of this moment, I am out of words. After ‘Israel’ bombed illegally besieged Gaza on Thursday and murdered 18-month old Palestinian toddler Bayan Khamash and her 23-year old mother Inas, who was also 9 months pregnant and set to give birth any day… I’m simply… Out. There won’t be an essay filled with myriad transhistorical references to Jewish supremacist evil. There won’t be any military/geopolitical analysis about the imminent and inevitable demise of the Zionist project. There won’t be invocations of past martyrs or past crimes of the artificial Jewish “state”. There just won’t. Because it’s not necessary. Look at her image on the coffin – JUST LOOK AT HER – and ask yourself the following questions: Does an entity that prides itself on slaughtering babies like Bayan deserve “legitimacy”? Does an entity that views pregnant women like Bayan’s mother Inas as fair game for its occupation army deserve “peace”? And does such an entity that engages in such barbarity even deserve to exist?

Fuck ‘Israel’. And fuck every Zionist Jew, “Christian” Zionist and “Muslim” collaborator seeking to preserve this vile scourge putrefying the globe with every passing moment it illegitimately exists. Rest in power, peace and perfect pulchritude to Palestinian teenagers Amir al-Nimra (15) and Louay Kahil (16), who were murdered on Saturday evening when the usurping Jewish entity’s warplanes screeched over the besieged Gaza Strip and bombed Al-Katiba Square. Amir and Louay, like most kids in the area, frequent that particular place because it is where everyone goes to play games, take hikes, eat and shop a little bit. That’s what they were doing when the “chosen” missiles fired from the “chosen” F-16s exploded and stole the life from their bodies: PLAYING. The Zionist terror attack also wounded 15 other Palestinians, destroyed one ambulance and badly damaged 9 other ambulances, 3 medical transport trucks, 2 civilian transport vehicles and several administrative offices related to medical emergencies and transportation.
